Drawing heavily on archive footage, film clips and interviews, the film shows how the political and artistic differences between the two men eventually caused them to disagree so vehemently in the aftermath of the May 1968 strikes in France that they remained enemies until Truffaut's death in 1984.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>

Gleaning is the act of gathering the leftovers from a harvest after the main, profitable crop has been taken away by the farmer. As well as examining the lives of actual gleaners, who subsist from the remnants of modern agriculture, Varda visits those who live by more modern forms of gleaning. She meets people who mine household and commercial waste for a living, a man who has lived almost completely on discarded food for over a decade despite having a job and several other intriguing characters. The picture that emerges is of an alternative form of life to throwaway, consumerist culture and a value system based on essentials rather than excess.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>
